Diesel Grind

Andrew McCreary says:

"My favorite diesel and the last one, I need to re stock!"

In recent years, the Diesel brand has climbed the ranks of popularity among the full-body cigar market, and with the release of the Grind line, it is sure to keep that momentum going. Mastermind blender AJ Fernandez has created a Nicaraguan powerhouse worthy of its name, but don't let that scare you; this stogie is equal parts strong and smooth. Sporting only a tiny blue footer band, the Diesel Grind lets its flavor do the talking. A bouquet of pepper, leather, earth and cedar will flood the senses, and priced at a level that anyone can afford, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better value in a quality full-bodied cigar anywhere.

Being a Diesel and the only one this site carries I expected something unique. It was strong and smooth but nothing that made it seem like any other cigar with that fits that profile. I was disappointed.
